Building a Full-Stack Blockchain Dev Career from Scratch: My Journey & Resources

[вася саша]

Hey fellow devs, I'm stoked to share my journey of transitioning from a traditional coding background to a full-stack blockchain developer. I've been learning and experimenting with various blockchain platforms, and I'd love to connect with others who are going through similar experiences. What are your go-to resources for learning blockchain development, and what's been your most challenging part in this transition?

Wicked thread, OP's journey is super inspiring. I'm actually taking a similar path and found this full-stack blockchain dev bootcamp on Udemy to be solid for learning the basics - anyone else check it out?

Just wanted to say thanks for the motivation, OP! Your journey is super inspiring, especially for us noobs trying to break into the blockchain dev scene. Can't wait to hear more about your upcoming tutorials series

Loved your post, OP! You're totally inspiring others to chase their blockchain dreams. Just wanted to add that I also found Udemy's blockchain dev courses super helpful in getting started, especially for those with little to no prior coding experience

Lowkey inspired by this thread, OP - been trying to break into the space myself. Can you elaborate more on the resources you used for learning Solidity and smart contract development?

Loved this thread! I'm actually just starting out in blockchain dev myself and this thread gives me a lot of hope for my future career. Do you think it's better to specialize in one specific area (e.g. smart contracts) or try to stay generalist?

Thanks for sharing your experience and resources, it's really inspiring to see folks taking the leap into blockchain dev. I'd love to know more about your background in programming and what motivated you to get into this space, was it from a DevOps or traditional web dev perspective?

Honestly, your resources are super valuable for beginners like me. I'm currently learning smart contract dev on Solidity and have been following your guide on building a simple dapp. Would love to see a part 2 with more advanced topics like decentralized storage and data analytics.
